Actually, none. Chocolate powder (whether cocoa powder or drinking chocolate) is not a good substitute for chocolate, because both powders have had the cocoa butter removed. Cocoa butter is a key ingredient in chocolate (it gives chocolate the melting at body temperature quality, which is pretty much the basis of chocolate) - it is a fat, so it adds moistness and enhances the crumbly texture of cakes. Since chocolate powder contains no cocoa butter, the end result (if it is used as a replacement) is that of a very dry and slightly bitter cake.
